FIVE QUESTIONS.

1.--If the Georgia Association had been without any colored members in
it, would the Georgia Conference ever have been formed?

2.--If the Georgia Association had been without any colored members,
would the Georgia Conference have declined to unite with it, on some one
of the terms submitted by the Georgia Association?

3.--If the Georgia Association had been without any colored members,
would this curious and ingenious scheme of "co-ordinate and equal
bodies," "to elect delegates" to visit each other now and then ever have
been concocted?

4.--Is it worth while to "darken counsel with words" as to methods, when
it is evident that the purpose is, not to form any union which would be
other than humiliating to a colored man, and contrary to the heretofore
held principles of the Congregational Churches?

5.--Why these arguments to show "how not to do it," when to do it would
be so simple and so evidently Christian?
